Hindi Box Office 2015: Questions & Answers

The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 43 films as the chart.

What is the highest-grossing Hindi-language movie in 2015?

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) leads with $121.1M worldwide, $8.2M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) at $52.7M and Dilwale (2015) at $32M.

How much did Hindi-language movies released in 2015 earn?

43 Hindi-language films released in 2015 report a worldwide gross, $412.7M in all, or $9.6M per film on average. 2014 releases took $244.5M.

How many Hindi-language movies released in 2015 made $1 billion?

None. 1 film crossed $100 million, led by Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) with $121.1M.

How much of the 2015 Hindi box office came from the US and Canada?

$41.8M of the $412.7M total, or 10%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 17 films of the 43 report no domestic figure.

How is the 2015 Hindi box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?

Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2015. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.

How often is the 2015 Hindi box office chart updated?

Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
